Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the level of wages paid to women in the early 1900s, exploring the economic conditions in which they worked. The author draws conclusions based on interrogations, interviews, and payrolls of 200 different occupations that employed women. The data is examined in conjunction with the economic and philosophical context of the time, such as the perspective of women's work as a lower priority than men's work. The book's ultimate goal is to provide evidence in support of a minimum wage for women, to ensure a living wage that prioritizes their health and welfare. The book finds that women in Michigan were facing a large economic gap and that a minimum wage would be an important step in improving their quality of life, boosting their ability to live with dignity.
